I'm a big fan of LO on SubSplit. With Pain Split, the passive damage is negated well, and the power is really nice. It plays like a faster but weaker SubSplit Chandelure. I honestly thought LO was standard on all SubSplits, lefties might be worth a slash but I think LO should be first.

I'll make it the primary slash. I don't have much experience with SubSplitters, I was just testing it and using Leftovers to give me more chances at full paralysis with Discharge.

If you're gonna put Life Orb over Leftovers on the SubSplit set (which I'd think is the best thing to do, since they tend to work well together), I'd highly suggest making Thunderbolt the primary slash over Discharge. The higher paralysis chance isn't usually worth the loss in power, similarly to Scald v. Surf on offensive Water-types (and Thunderbolt actually has a chance of paralysis, unlike Surf). That is, of course, for analyses at least. And I know it just goes as a matter of personal preference, but imo SubSplit should be the first set, followed by the Choice sets (I don't know the exact order). I've been trying ouy SubSplit @ LO extensively , and it's pretty amazing, usually allowing me to beat Snorlax one on one with Rocks and one layer of T-Spikes.

I should finish this today, I'll be making the following changes in addition to doing the rest of the skeleton

Set order will be Scarf, Split, Specs. Scarf is first since Rotom-F is THE revenge killer in Hail - it outruns Heracross and has Levitate for Flygon which is huge. Other, faster offensive Ice types are either not really used with Hail (Weavile) or have much more important things to do (Froslass). SubSplit is good, and while Specs is fine there are other Pokemon that can do what it does so it's secondary to the other two.

Split will be primarily LO / Thunderbolt with Leftovers / Discharge as an option for a more stally strategy.

So essentially, Rotom-F needs Heracross to have switched into SR twice and have taken two rounds of Hail damage to be OHKOed or have been hit, which doesn't usually happen if Hera's played well. In return, Heracross beats it with its 3 standard moves, assuming they hit.

That said, any Scarf Rotom is awesome, so I won't question it being the first set, lol

EDIT: Never mind, it revenges Hera if 'ts locked into Close Combat. It's still a little situational—since Hera at -1,-1 will probably switch out for fear of being killed, unless something else can take advantage of the switch—but rather effective either way. Choice Scarf as number one set is perfectly fina
